The Cost of A Royal Wedding

[Jacknch]

I read an artical about the Emanuels (David and Elizabeth) who designed and made Princess Diana's wedding dress. From what I recall, they did not intend to charge a fee for the dress but Princess Diana's mother, Frances Shand-Kydd, insisted on paying something, so they accepted a token amount of 2000 guinees ( a guinee is about £1.05 which equates to the dress costing £2100.00). That was over 27 years ago so not sure how much it would be in today's prices.

Maxima's dress wasn't over the top expensive for a Crownprincess if you ask me. The veil may have been expensive, it was a magnificent piece of work and I hope one day her daugthers can wear it on their wedding. Mabel's dress (the hideous one with al the bows) costed the same or even more.

Are you sure you didn't forget a 0? I can't believe Letizia's gown was so (relatively) cheap...

The gown was created by Pertegaz, a designer "cheap" in comparation with other gown's designer

Do you know how much money spent the Iranian Imperial House with the gowns of Soraya and Farah Diba? (The two by Dior).
